I hate to call myself out, but I envy most of you. It sounds as if many here get the opportunity to work on interesting problems from end to end. As such, first principles matter, and approaching something from scratch makes sense. I however have been stuck in a segment of the market that doesn't appreciate the right solution, but rather just wants a solution as fast as possible. To be clear, I'm talking about a more consumer audience. My clients expect things done quick, and quick means leveraging cms, ecommerce platforms (magento, woo commerce, etc.). To be frank I find such work unsatisfying, and often need to hack things together to meet the requirements set forth within the constraints of the budgets I'm working with. I'd love to be able to work in an environment where doing things right mattered, but the plain fact is the deliverables aren't measurable based on quality, but expedition. While I'm on a soap box, I'd like to point out to those in the positions where they're work is evaluated by professionals and peers how lucky they are. I'd kill for a job/client where my code is evaluated by other developers. This community sometimes forgets they are the 1% of the development world. Those who work for the googles, facebooks, and visionary startups with leaders who came from the same cloth. The rest majority of us are laboring away under management that have never produced a lick of code, or even design, for that matter. I guess the Tl;DR is: appreciate the fact that you even get to consider the finer points, and pray for the rest of us.
